Watch: The Ron Clark Story 2006 123movies, Full Movie Online – 1998. Ron Clark, still relatively early in his career, leaves his stable life teaching at an elementary school in his suburban North Carolina hometown, the school where he is appreciated by both his fellow teachers and his students for his innovative teaching methods which results in raising test scores. Instead, he decides to look for a teaching job at a tough New York inner city school where he feels he can be more useful. He eventually finds a job at Inner Harlem Elementary School, where the students are segregated according to their potential. As Clark is white and “nice” looking, Principal Turner wants to assign him to the honors class, especially as Turner’s job security depends on good test scores. Clark, however, wants to take the most disadvantaged class. He quickly learns that it will be a battle of wills between himself and his disruptive students to see who can outlast the other. But he also learns that he has to understand them, both individually and collectively, on their level to be able to get through to them before he can teach them the standardized materials. But even the best laid plans can be turned askew by unforeseen events, such as illness and the behavior of others outside of his control. And he has to overcome the self-fulfilling prophecy of failure to instill a sense of worth within the students. Through it all, he is supported by Marissa Vega, the beautiful waitress at the restaurant where he works part-time..
Plot: A passionate and innovative teacher leaves his small hometown to teach in one of Harlem’s toughest schools. But to break through to this students, Ron Clark must use unconventional methods, including his ground-breaking classroom rules, to drive them toward their potential.

A good time
I am not a movie or TV critic, and I won’t pretend to be. I will say that as just a normal person without any special credentials, I absolutely love this movie. It gives you this great feeling when you watch it, and I was shocked by Matthew Perry’s performance. Having before only thought of him as the “Friends” guy his new personality took me completely by surprise. Overall, I thought that as a TV movie it is very much worth the time spent watching it. I had a great time and I’m sure that you will too.The storyline is well developed and while there are a few unrealistic points, I think that it’s very good. The children were portrayed very realistically, as were the challenges of teaching such a group. Knowing that it was a true story only heightened my enjoyment of the entire movie.
Because of the above said reasons I gave this a ten out ten. The movie isn’t very action filled, and there isn’t much romance, but I think that it’s one of the best movies that I have seen in quite a long time.
I hope you will take this review seriously when choosing whether to watch this movie.
Thank you.
Sweet.
I’ve been a fan of Mattew Perrys ever since Friends first aired on TV, and I make it a point to try and see any movie he makes. However, it’s sometimes a bit…what’s the word…sad (I guess) to see him play “Chandler” over and over again. As much as I like that character, it would be fun to see him play something else. That’s that.As for The Ron Clarke Story, with Perry as Ron Clarke, there are certain Chandler-qualities about Clarke. But more in terms of body-language than anything else – and I guess that would be Perry himself “shining through”. For the most part it’s a standalone part for Perry, a good long step away from “Chandler Bing”. It’s a really sweet story about a substitute teacher who goes through hell and back for his students (consisting of worst-case-scenario kids). It’s an inspiring story, and you really wish it would always be that “easy” to get kids out of trouble and onto the right path.
Perry is good, he almost always is, and the kids are actually believable. True, sometimes you wish Clarke would just give the snotnose kids a “feel of the back of his hand” – but I guess that would be the easiest (and most faulty) way to go.
The Ron Clarke Story is a feelgood-film, and it does just that. It makes you feel good.
In addition: Any film that makes schoolteaching look like fun deserves a whole heap of credit.
